The Family That Rests Together
Decision fatigue, demand avoidance, impossible standards, communication under pressure — all of it feeds into this: the person at the centre of the neurodivergent family system who has been holding everything together for so long that holding everything together has become the only identity available.
She is not struggling because she is weak. She is struggling because the structure she is operating inside was never designed for her brain, her family, or the particular density of what neurodivergent family life actually requires.
And she has been told, consistently and in a hundred different ways, that the solution is more of her.
It is not.
